Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (Deluxe, Cyborg, Epic Hero Series). This Walmart exclusive is an inexplicable $20, and is awesome as it is confounding on so many levels. They retooled the figure's robe skirt to be shorter, but merely painted on the belt buckley parts. There's a clip-on piece of chest armor and a cool spinning lightsaber blade swirl, but these accessories can't possibly justify the $12 upcharge over a basic figure. Having said that, it's so weird, and so funky, that I would highly recommend it on sale or if we find out the price was some sort of clerical error that will be fixed at some point. It's well-made, but so strange in where the budget went and considering Walmart has a figure 2-pack while Amazon has a figure 3-pack for the same price, it's a mystery for the ages. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bespin Security Guard (Isdam Edian, The Vintage Collection). It's Lando parts with a new head and torso, but generally gets the job done. I just wish they actually gave one of the last few vintage figures left to update an original sculpt since the legs look a little weird, as do the cuffs around the sleeves, since they were not intended for this one.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (& Ahsoka Tano, The Vintage Collection Deluxe). "Grogu, his arms wide" sounds like a Tamarian metaphor, but it's just a Walmart exclusive accessory with a jointed head and not much else. It's great in the context of the set. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Battle Droid (The Vintage Collection). It's a red redeco with no battle damage, exclusive to Walmart, and something I assume we're not likely to see in physical stores any time soon. Read on!
As 2020 comes to an end for an alleged second time, let's look at this 2019 Darth Vader (Skywalker Saga, Gold). It's and older figure, but after two years I can safely say that having just opened one, the gold paint sticks to itself and I don't like that. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: AT-ST Driver (The Vintage Collection). Now with photoreal deco on what is basically Richard Marquand! He stands, he sits, and he fits in your AT-ST - what more can you ask for? Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider (2.0, The Vintage Collection). He's got a new head, new arms, and fancy improved soft goods - it's worth getting if you can find this Walmart exclusive! Read on!
A classic has returned! Luke Skywalker (Endor, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, figure takes a 2010 Jedi Luke and adds a new head and new accessories - and it's pretty great if you can find one, exclusively at Walmart. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Paploo (The Vintage Collection). It's secretly Lumat with new gear - the face is the tell! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia (Endor, The Vintage Collection). I actually saw one in a Walmart two days ago - and she looks good, provided her face is on straight! Read on!
